Alfaerie SVG Piece Graphics. The Alfaerie set of piece graphics in scalable SVG format.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]@gbtami if you want to do, I can create Makruk Alphaerie with drawing Ferz and Khon but taking proPawn from here’s Ferz.
Returning to our discussion;))))))) I’ve understood that:
- Archbishop costs 8 because it also covers neighboring squares (earlier I thought of it as of BFX discarding the nearness of covered squares); in my opinion it's because B part is long ranging (discarding N's moving's shortness) and N part is color-switching (discarding B's colorboundness) and jumping; so it is maneuverable. So Bishop's part there is 4, however Knight's one is also 4!
- Imbalance of A+p > Q probably exists because Pawn is cooperative and "every pawn is potential Queen"(c)
- Ultrabishop (BW) and Hyperrook (RF) are 7 and 8 relatively, because they BTW include the Doubler (K) moves (I thought of them like about BH or RA/RG discarding the nearness of covered squares).
- Nightrider and Rook really have similar mobility on 8x8, but Nightrider is more maneuverable and Rook is more reliable.
- Both Zip and Magician from Horizons have the cost of 9 on large (but not big) and free boards, but on 8x8 they really are 7 (M) and 8 (Z) because of their maneuverability and defense from the King (compare with Queen).
- Bishop pair costs between 6,5 and 7 (when board is more free, Bishops' pair is more valuable).
- Silver isn't as stabile in cost as I've thought before (in Orda Chess, it's Yurt which is decided to cost 2, but I disagree – maybe from 2,6 to 3,2).
What do you think about?
I have tried to do a Game Courier for my fast idea (shooting chess with non-obligatory captures and short-moving pieces), but it seems like GC doesn’t want me to take with Knights, Kings and Pawns. What is wrong? ~,~
Dunsany's Chess. 32 pawns play against a full set of pieces.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Lichess (my favorite site which offers adless free chess and some variants) has a more established version of Horde. White has 36 pawns (full 1-4 rows and b, c, f & g files on 5th row) and all pawns can move 2 squares from either 1st or 2nd rank. Stalemate (existence of pieces but no legal moves of side) is a draw. I can simply add this page to Lichess tag.
ChessBreakTimes Chess. Chess with elements of chess-based RPG I slowly elaborate at this time. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I wanted to do ID but sth went wrong;) simply I never did it alone.
I've made a Game Courier preset, but in first time it made to move King as Silver, Silver was immobile, castling was disabled; but in second time, there is an error on line I haven't any access to.
Thx very much for your attention, so catch:

I don't know the reason comptuer makes Silver more valuable than all (exc. for King), when Silver must be a little cheaper than Knight. I tried to fix it manually and bring the Silver on his (normal) place, but it was started a flood of errors in GC preset. Before it worked, King was royal, but he moved as Silver (and castling was illegal), when Silvers were fully immobile. Very strange)))
UPD: this GAME code was edited a lot by me.
I’ve also invented a Jackal but named it Tiger (Ť)

BTW, rather than generating the GAME code again through the fixed Play-Test Applet, you could just edit the GAME-code you already had, replacing the 'true' in the legdefs array definition by 1 everywhere.
Still same result(
Modest Proposals - GOAL Variants. Missing description (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Contravention, Linkage, Submission and Triple Check seem interesting)…
A "Friendly" Game of... Chess?. Each side has Friends, and several odd pieces. Insanity ensues. (12x12, Cells: 144) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]- It's better to put in quotes the word "Chess" ))))
- You've missed the typo in Sniper description: text is 2,3 when image shows 3,4
Berolina Chess. Different moving pawns. (8x8, Cells: 64) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]BTWAFAIK all Game Courier presets for this variant are bugged (b & h pawns cannot make double step, a pawn is immobile). I’ve created GC preset without this flaw.
Can I get access to these graphics for editing and adding chessmen?
Dovecote Chess. One small non-rules tweak generally changes the character and pace of gameplay. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating] Aquachess. One level underwater, one on the surface, and one in the sky, with many strange pieces. (3x(8x8), Cells: 192) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]However the Sparrow (mQcK) is Duke from Dan Lee's asymmetric Empire Chess (which is playable on Pychess)

(1x21, Cells: 21) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]The name of Muezzin was proposed by Charles Gilman for the Camel and Giraffe, as someone who is "high off the ground in lands with camels."

This piece is also created by me under name Long Gnu / Longdebeest (Ō in my notation, worths 5 like a Rook)
Fluidity Chess. No displacement capture, all non-royal pieces take by cutting through or bypassing. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Rules and text were revised. See this to understand how (so I request for remaking the short description of this CV, appearing near its name, write "No displacement capture, all non-royal pieces take by dissecting or bypassing")
Chess on the Rope. 1d chess experimental variant with standard rules and variations. (1x21, Cells: 21) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Thx for the layout! I’ve recently refreshed some text and carried the Rules section out of layout. So I want to say: Chess on the Rope are READY!
Also some my other variants are ready (I’ve updated Fluidity this week and ChBrTi today), so you can look at them also. Please
Re-Ghost Chess. The last captured piece turns into leaping transparent ghost and isn’t able to capture but still can check. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I see I’ve caught a right thematic moment to post it. My another sudden creation is ready Ú,Û
— …Does anybody hear this?…
— IDK my transparent friend…)))))))))
Please answer to any of my pages in next 72 hours. I will be glad)

Anybody, can you pay some attention for another linear travelling acrobates?…
In other words, what do you think about it? Is it something new for you?
